These films explore the potential consequences of advanced technology, scientific discoveries, or major societal shifts through futuristic or alternate-reality settings.
Core elements and themes
Sci-fi movies are distinguished by several key characteristics, and they often blend with other genres like horror, fantasy, and action.
- Speculative or futuristic technology: Sci-fi films often showcase advanced concepts like artificial intelligence, space travel, time travel, genetic engineering, advanced weaponry, and robots.
- Imaginative settings: The stories take place in fantastical locations such as outer space, other planets, parallel dimensions, or dystopian and utopian future versions of Earth.
- Alien lifeforms: Extraterrestrial encounters are a common element, with aliens serving various roles, from hostile invaders to benign, benevolent beings.
- Exploration of social and philosophical issues: By using futuristic settings, sci-fi movies can serve as allegories to comment on real-world political, social, and cultural issues. For example, a film about robots becoming sentient could explore themes of civil rights and personhood.
- Sense of wonder: The genre often aims to inspire a feeling of awe by presenting miraculous scientific possibilities in a way that feels plausible to the audience.
